Municipal Emergency Management Plan 

To enable a coordinated approach to emergencies, Council facilitates the Municipal Emergency Management Planning Committee (MEMPC). The MEMPC includes representations from agencies and services who play a role in emergency management and is responsible for the development and maintenance of the Municipal Emergency Management Plan (MEMP).

The MEMP is the guiding document for prevention, response, and recovery from emergencies within the municipality.

During emergencies
